"What can I do? Just take them back to Pingdu with me! Don't tell me you don't have this plan. I've seen through your little tricks.
I am warning you, Xiao Youyou is mine, you are not allowed to snatch her from me."
Bai Acorus glared at Xiang Huaixin and warned him.
"Hehe!" Xiang Huaixin did not argue much, but gave Bai Changpu a meaningful look.
…
The next day, Leng You and Xiang Wentian still entered the valley early.
"We can hunt more game today." Leng You could not forget the pheasants he saw yesterday.
"Didn't you say you wanted to continue exploring inside?" Seeing Leng You's excited look, Xiang Wentian rubbed her head again lovingly.
"We can catch them as we go in!
Look, a rabbit! "
Before Leng You finished his words, a fat rabbit suddenly jumped out from the grass.
The slingshot in Xiang Wentian's hand had already been fired, and the big rabbit fell to the ground and couldn't get up.
Leng You looked at the slingshot in Xiang Wentian's hand with surprise, wondering when he had miraculously acquired such a "heavy weapon". Was he going skiing again?
"Hold it, I'll teach you." Xiang Wentian put the slingshot in Leng You's hand.
"Here it comes!" As if to cooperate with Leng You, another rabbit jumped out.
"Ready, fire!" Xiang Wentian completely held Leng You in his arms, held her hand steady, aimed, and fired... The whole action was done in one go, and a fat rabbit bounced once and fell heavily to the ground, unable to move anymore.
"Wow!" Leng You's eyes were shining.
After placing the two rabbits by the stream, they headed north.
When he walked to where a large flock of pheasants had landed last time, Xiang Wentian began to bend down and set traps one after another.
Leng You was stunned for a moment and then followed to help. She had previously thought that Xiang Wentian would capture these pheasants by throwing stones or using slingshots as weapons like he did with rabbits. She forgot that this was not a martial arts drama, and the young Xiang Wentian was not the hero in the drama who had unpredictable martial arts skills and could use the One Finger Zen or shoot down a cow from a distance.
"That's... a roe deer!" Leng You let out a low cry as he watched the deer-like creature jump out of the forest and stand there stupidly.
Daheishan Village is poor and has bad waters. Villagers can hardly see roe deer and pheasants, or even rabbits. But they didn't expect that there was such an abundance of rabbits in this valley.
Leng You felt that her and Wen Jiuyue's lives would be more secure in the future, especially after the first roe deer ran out, another large group followed.
Just like the previous one, it stopped stupidly and stared straight at Leng You and Xiang Wentian, two strange creatures.
Leng You looked at Xiang Wentian expectantly, and subconsciously handed the slingshot in his hand over to him.
"I can only try it." Xiang Wentian had never tried to hunt this not-so-small animal in this way.
He bent down, picked up a slightly larger stone from the stream, put it on the bullet bag, aimed, pulled the trigger, and let go...
With a "bang", the stone hit the forehead of a fat and strong roe deer standing in the front. The roe deer swayed a few times and then fell to the ground with a bang.
What's ridiculous is that when they saw their companion fall down, the other roe deer didn't even react. They just stood there motionless, still looking at Leng You and Xiang Wentian stupidly.
"So powerful!" Xiang Wentian's strength once again exceeded Leng You's imagination.
"Let's kill another one!" Xiang Wentian, who always had an indifferent expression, suddenly showed excitement in his eyes.
"Okay, if we kill a few more, we'll have a better winter." Leng You had the same idea.
At this time, these animals are not included in the scope of protection. Moreover, for the sake of ecological balance, they cannot be allowed to reproduce indefinitely, especially when it has been preliminarily confirmed that there are no natural enemies of theirs, such as tigers, wolves, bears and other ferocious beasts in the valley.
"Wait!" Xiang Wentian's interest had been completely aroused. He tightened the slingshot in his hand. Although he couldn't hit the target every time, he managed to knock down three more in succession.
"Awesome!" Leng You's eyes were full of admiration.
"Let's catch these four today and continue tomorrow." This deep valley really aroused Xiang Wentian's growing interest and curiosity, and he wanted to speed up his exploration inside.
"Okay." Leng You nodded in agreement.
He ran to the roe deer that was lying on the ground and twitching, and touched the head of another roe deer that was standing stupidly nearby "eating watermelon".
I think the next time I capture it, maybe I can use a simpler and more brutal method.
The two continued walking north. The temperature seemed to be getting higher and higher as they walked. The area of the stream became larger, and wisps of hot steam began to rise from the surface of the stream.
"Are you tired?" They had walked nearly ten miles. During this time, Xiang Wentian asked Leng You several times, and the answer he got was always that he was not tired.
Although he did not see any sign of fatigue on the little guy's face, and he knew that the magical blessing had made their physical strength far beyond that of ordinary people, a rare feeling like "heartache" suddenly overflowed from Xiang Wentian's heart.
He bent down, embraced Leng You's small body, lifted it gently, and placed it on his back.
"Brother, I'm really not tired. Please put me down, otherwise it will be inconvenient for you to catch prey." Leng You struggled.
"Be obedient!" Xiang Wentian's big hand gently patted Leng You's little butt again.
Leng You: “…”
The old woman's soul was roasted by the fire again.
Apart from roe deer, rabbits and pheasants, we didn't see any other animals along the way. The steam from the stream was getting thicker and the air temperature was getting a little higher.
Obviously, we are getting closer and closer to the spring.
"We've reached the end." Putting Leng You down from his back, Xiang Wentian looked up at the highest mountain that lay not far away.
After walking for about twenty miles, the deep valley was completely blocked by the mountain, and what appeared before them was a smooth, upright cliff.
There is hot steam and a faint smell of sulfur in the spring, which slowly flows out from a natural hole about one meter wide and half a meter high under the cliff, forming a water surface of about 50 square meters near the hole.
"It turns out that the end of the valley is at the foot of this mountain!
But how did the roe deer get in?"
The length of the valley was beyond Leng You's imagination, and another question popped into her mind.
The valley is enclosed on all sides. Pheasants can fly in and rabbits can crawl into caves, but the way roe deer get into the valley is incomprehensible.
"Maybe it fell from the valley." In fact, Xiang Wentian couldn't find the answer to this question.
"Maybe!" Even a living person like her didn't die after falling, let alone a roe deer. Leng You thought the explanation was somewhat reasonable.
"How long is this mountain range? Where does it extend to? What are the villages closest to Daheishan Village on all sides? How far are they? Do you know all this?" Xiang Wentian asked Leng You with his head down.
A selfish thought suddenly arose in my mind. I just wanted this fresh and free space to belong to the little guy in front of me, and no one else could disturb him except him.
